Hey Guys,

I've got a 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo (70K miles) and for about the past 6 months have been experiencing a slight coolant(antifreeze) leak. No noticeable drop of telltall antifreeze in the driveway.

When I replaced the timing belt a week ago I did notice a drop or two of coolant near the bottom of the T-Belt inside cover. I carefully checked the water pump and it seemed to be OK. This may have been overflow from last time I topped off the reservoir.

Does the 850 have any know history of blowing head gaskets? I 've owned the car since new and it has never overheated.

Car drives superb - I just have to top off the coolant reservoir about every month and a half with about 6 ounces or so of distilled water.

I filled her up again this morning and will keep carefull note.

Sure hope I don't have a bad head gasket.

Any ideas?
